Vacation Bible School (VBS)
July 31-August 4, 2023 | 9am-Noon each day
"Stellar" – exceptional; shining brighter than all others. Jesus’ light in the world is stellar.
In this Stellar-themed VBS, the kids will learn to shine Jesus’ light when life feels dark, when people don’t get along, when good things happen, when people are sad, and when people need help.
Our VBS is for ages 4-years old through those who just completed 4th grade. 5th graders and up are welcome to be helpers.
PARENTS: if your child is attending VBS, please send along:
A black or navy t-shirt for them to paint.
-
Please pre-wash the shirt and dry.
-
Do NOT use fabric softener (the paint will not stick.)
-
Put your child’s name on the inside collar of the shirt.
A water bottle to use during snacks.
-
Put your child’s first & last name on it.
Sunday School (Age 4 - 5th Grade)
Our Sunday School Ministry is for any children age 4 through 5th grade. Throughout the school year, Sunday School meets during our Education Hour (9:15am-10:15am). The Sunday School meets as one group for story time, and then goes to their classrooms with an adult volunteer for their crafts, games, and lessons.
Throughout the year, students will learn Bible stories, go through their Milestone (see below for more info), and will have the opportunity to take part in church events (e.g. Children's Christmas Program, Feed My Sheep Sundays, etc.)
If you have questions regarding Sunday School, or would like to register your child for our Sunday School, email our Education Coordinator, Miriam Bjornstad.
